Barack Obama "put people on food stamps"? Makes provocative copy, but it's far from true. It's more true to say that George Bush "put" thousands of Americans in the ground - 9/11, Iraq, etc; but how true is that, even? George did nothing himself, directly; he just gave orders, or failed to. Gingrich himself actually did commit adultery - he was there, as the agent of the action. Compared to that, Obama is so far from this food-stamps claim it's laughable.

As I said in a previous comment I made, a President needs to be able to run a country. Doing well in a couple debates does not qualify you.

I'm really going to get tough with the Speaker tonight! I intend to talk to him in very harsh tones, like a talk to my dog to make him get on top of the car. The Speaker may have run Congress, but I ran the Olympics -- which is more important?

Darn it, I'm not joking. Don't be surprised if I shake my finger in his face. If that happens, all bets are off on what happens next. I'm really serious now.

Does Gingrich's arrogance about his debating ability bother anyone else?

Washington Wire is one of the oldest standing features in American journalism. Since the Wire launched on Sept. 20, 1940, the Journal has offered readers an informal look at the capital. Now online, the Wire provides a succession of glimpses at what’s happening behind hot stories and warnings of what to watch for in the days ahead. The Wire is led by Reid J. Epstein, with contributions from the rest of the bureau. Washington Wire now also includes Think Tank, our home for outside analysis from policy and political thinkers.
